I believe the theory is that when you take them out of order there is a much greater risk that you are more or less being given grades just to get eligible, instead of actually learning the material so you can do well in college, like a normal high school student.
That's a pretty big assumption to alter an entire set of rules over. High school aren't created equal in the first place. What type of education you get at Baton Rouge High is far different from Scotlandville for a myriad of reasons.

They would like college students to be somewhat prepared and this is the most rational approach. When they see some kid pass like 10 core subjects with straight A's in their senior year, they know it's being gamed, but can't really prove it. Gaming will not go away, but it makes it more difficult and some will actually benefit from it.
